Townes Van Zandt - Come Tomorrow

my first posting , so all corrections gratefully received , thanks!

this is a good one for all novice townes fans out there ( like me ) .

i find it easiest to use the thumb on the bass ( generally ) and strum the rest with first
or second fingers .

the bass line is something like this :

intro :

C G
could it be the season’s changin’

F
the winds of winter rearranging

C F G
all the leaves like fallin’ queens of sorrow

F
could be the freezing rain A – fallin’

C F
could be sad september callin’

C F C F
or maybe its knowin’ she’ll be gone

C F
come tomorrow

C

well , it’s strange how many tortured mornings
fell upon us with no warning
lookin’ for a smile to beg and borrow
it’s over now , there is no returning
a thousand bridges sadly burning
and light the way i have to walk alone
come tomorrow

i guess that no amount of lying
to myself will stop the crying
i guess i have to take things like they are
the facts are plain to see , it’s only
that i ain’t used to being lonely
like i’m gonna be without you
come tomorrow

come tomorrow
